Fight plan & rotation

  1. 01

    Activate your offensive buffs while a fight allows it.

  2. 02

    Apply Marking Shot and check that Precision is active.

  3. 03

    Use a full-charge Deadshot during Precision and while safe to hold the input.

  4. 04

    Maintain regular attacks with Snipe and other skills, then refresh Precision for your next Deadshot.

05 / LIVE-CLIENT CHECKS

Verify before you commit

  • ✧Do not put the full-charge Deadshot into a rapid-fire macro.
  • ✧Check whether the target is Slowed or Rooted before using dependent attacks.
  • ✧Positioning often matters more than one extra filler attack.
